Happy Holidays to the List, Recently the Houston Area Carriage Association held its annual Christmas carriage drive and luncheon in my neighborhood of Indigo Lake Estates in Magnolia, Texas. Helen and I thought you might enjoy seeing pictures of the drive and carriages as there are some multiple turnouts in the group. Tom O'Carroll, driving trainer from the Good Hands Driving Center in Navasota, Texas, brought his 4-in-hand of Cleveland Bay crosses, Stewart Morris and his pair (I think Swedish WBs??) were elegantly turned out from top hats to fur lap robe to deliver Santa to the park for the children's "Cookies with Santa" program, and I was thrilled to get to drive my pair of Fjords in their first pair debut with other horses (and we survived it, too!). The photos were taken by a neighbor, John Edmundson, who has been a carriage driving fan since attending the kutschen races while living in Germany. His wife, Ariane Edmundson, is an artist (http://thepaintersisters.com <http://thepaintersisters.com/> ) who will paint a portrait of your turnout if you provide some good photos. Here's the photo link: http://66.140.153.225/TPS/Photo/Carriage/ Hope you enjoy them. Have a peaceful driving holiday, Milli Ann Who loves driving pairs more each time, Magnolia, TX (NW of Houston) _________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe, change to Digest or Vacation mode go to: http://www.drivingpairs.com/dpmem.html `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
